"I'm going to Chongqing, maybe just a few days!" Still in the small restaurant on the street, Tang Cheng and Xu Huanshan, who had just arrived, sat opposite each other, with a copper pot on the table, and in the pot was a steaming pot of dog meat. When Tang Cheng opened his mouth to speak, Xu Huanshan just put his chopsticks into the copper pot and picked up a piece of meat, as soon as he heard Tang Cheng's words, Xu Huanshan's movements immediately stopped, and the piece of meat held on the chopsticks also fell back into the pot.

"To Chongqing? Why? Xu Huanshan looked at Tang Cheng with a surprised expression, obviously he had forgotten that Tang Cheng had said in front of him more than once that he was going to Chongqing. Tang Cheng pursed his lips a little dissatisfied when he heard this, and before he could speak, Xu Huanshan suddenly remembered that the last time he met Tang Cheng, the other party had said that he was going to leave Nanjing, but he didn't turn his muscles just now.

"Why don't you go to Chongqing? My family sent it over last year, and they've been waiting for me for almost half a year! Tang Cheng stretched out his chopsticks and picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth, and then replied to Xu Huanshan nonchalantly. My position has not changed, I went to Chongqing to still be a police sergeant, where the pace of life is slow and the cost of living is low. The most important thing is that Chongqing is very safe, and my grandfather's house is in Chongqing, and this time it can be regarded as my mother's return to her roots. ”

Tang Cheng's answer was not strong, but Xu Huanshan couldn't find a reason to refute it for a while, because according to Xu Huanshan's previous investigation, Tang Cheng's mother was indeed born in Chongqing. "What about the Intelligence Division? Will they be able to let you go? Like Joseph's previous thoughts, Xu Huanshan also believed that the Intelligence Department would not easily let Tang Cheng leave, after all, Tang Cheng's performance in counter-espionage affairs was amazing.

"Lao Xu, you have a pit in your head, right?" Hearing this, Tang Cheng looked at Xu Huanshan with round eyes, "I told you a long time ago, I am not from the intelligence department, I help them, just because they can pay me commissions afterwards, and I have to rely on this money to support my family." Don't look at me at home for a while, but I'm still a police officer, and my establishment has been in the police department without being removed. When I went to Chongqing, it was a normal personnel transfer in the police system, and what does it have to do with the intelligence department? ”

Tang Cheng Yunshan fog shrouded nonsense, Xu Huanshan believed it at first, but when he saw the smile in Tang Cheng's eyes, he realized that he was teased by Tang Cheng again. "Okay, I'm not kidding you, it's not just me who was transferred to Chongqing this time, but also my uncle Zhang Jianghe, who works in the intelligence department. Zhang Jianghe lost an arm when he was ambushed by Tegaoke when he was in Shanghai, and he has been ostracized since returning to Nanjing, and this time he was transferred to Chongqing to serve as the deputy station chief in charge of external operations at the Chongqing station. ”

Unlike Joseph, who had seen Zhang Jianghe, although Xu Huanshan knew about Zhang Jianghe and this person, and also knew what Zhang Jianghe was doing in the intelligence department, he had never met Zhang Jianghe. However, Xu Huanshan knew about Zhang Jianghe's ambush by Tegaoke in Shanghai, because after Tang Cheng went to Shanghai, Xu Huanshan also went to Shanghai. Suddenly hearing Tang Cheng say that Zhang Jianghe was also transferred to Chongqing and served as the deputy station director in charge of external operations at Chongqing Station, Xu Huanshan understood why Tang Cheng's expression looked so relaxed.

The intelligence department is a military unit, and it has the right to supervise the military and police, Tang Cheng was transferred to Chongqing, and with Zhang Jianghe as his backer, his future life will not be smooth sailing, but at least he will be more comfortable than most people. "There's some money in this suitcase, and two pistols, which I used to use in case of emergency, but now it seems that I don't need them." Tang Cheng raised his leg and pushed the suitcase from under the table to the foot of Xu Huanshan, Xu Huanshan heard this, reached out and lifted the box, it seemed to be very heavy.

"It's not a lot of money, it's a little activity fund I sponsored for your underground party! I got the pistol back from Shanghai, and there should be no source in Nanjing, but there are not many bullets. There were people coming in and out of the restaurant one after another, so Tang Cheng tried to keep his voice as low as possible when he spoke, and Xu Huanshan also listened very carefully. It's just that Tang Cheng doesn't have many things to explain to Xu Huanshan, especially the restaurant where this person enters and leaves, which is not a good occasion to meet.

"Lao Xu, I still say the same thing, Nanjing is not safe. The defector that Zhongtong got is a good opportunity, and you can take advantage of this opportunity to withdraw from Nanjing, not very far, just withdraw to Xuzhou first. I have very reliable information that it is possible that in the second half of the year, the Japanese will do it. The Japanese are not the same as the national army, they are really crazy, they do not distinguish between soldiers and civilians at all. Tang Cheng planned to make a final persuasion to Xu Huanshan, but looking at Xu Huanshan's reaction, he didn't seem interested.

The other party didn't like to hear it, so Tang Cheng simply didn't continue to speak, but poured two glasses of wine, picked up one by himself, and pushed the other one to Xu Huanshan. "Lao Xu, don't say anything, everything is in this glass of wine!" Tilting his neck and drinking the wine in the cup, Tang Cheng put his own upside down on the table. "This glass of wine, even if you practice it for me, I respect you. To tell you the truth, I respect people like you, who dare to sacrifice everything for the ideals and persistence in your heart. ”

"But I can't, I'm just an ordinary person, I still have family to take care of. Although I can't be like you and willing to give everything, but I've been doing what I can, and if it weren't for this fucking situation, Lao Xu, maybe we could be true friends. Tang Cheng's words led Xu Huanshan a little surprised, all along, Xu Huanshan felt that Tang Cheng was a fool, but he didn't expect that a guy like Tang Cheng could say such a thing.

"Lao Xu, I said what kind of eyes are you? You have to be clear, I'm not your enemy! Xu Huanshan's suspicious eyes made Tang Cheng furious, and he raised his hand to flick a peanut at the other party. In fact, although we don't look like people all the way, what we do is the same way. You probe the enemy's intelligence from within, while I deal with the Japanese spies from the outside who try to find out our intelligence, one stealing secrets from the enemy's heart, and the other tightening the fence to prevent loopholes. ”

Tang Cheng's words were covered by clouds and clouds, but he also had to admit that Tang Cheng's words were right, in a sense, the situation was indeed as Tang Cheng had just said. Tang Cheng failed to persuade Xu Huanshan to change his decision, and Xu Huanshan failed to find out the source of any unusual movements from the Japanese from Tang Cheng. Half an hour later, the last piece of meat in the copper pot was snatched by Xu Huanshan, and their meeting was nearing its end.

"Lao Xu, there is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed, even if you are a good friend, there will be a day when you will be separated." Tang Cheng, who walked out of the small restaurant with Xu Huanshan, stopped on the side of the street, and without waiting for Xu Huanshan to speak, he opened his arms and hugged each other fiercely. "Lao Xu, live well, I hope we will meet again one day! I hope that when that day comes, we can still be here, order another pot of dog meat, next time, I will definitely not let you! ”

With his fist, he hammered Xu Huanshan twice on the back, Tang Cheng turned around and left, not giving Xu Huanshan a chance to speak at all. Xu Huanshan, who was carrying a suitcase, stood on the side of the street, quietly watching Tang Cheng stride away, he was still suspicious of Tang Cheng's intentions before, but at this moment he finally believed that Tang Cheng was really Yao left Nanjing. Facing a gust of cold wind, Xu Huanshan shook his shoulders and twisted his waist, saying in his heart that the two blows that Tang Cheng had just hammered were really a bit weighty.

When Xu Huanshan stood on the side of the street and watched Tang Cheng leave, he didn't know that Tang Cheng, who had turned around, had already shown moisture in his eyes. Xu Huanshan insisted so much on staying in Nanjing, once Nanjing became a key point of contention for the Japanese army, Xu Huanshan would face an unbelievably huge crisis, and the chances of him surviving would be very small. In the city of Nanjing, there are not many people who can be called friends by Tang Cheng, Joseph can be counted as one, and Xu Huanshan can also be counted as one.

Tang Cheng walked along the side of the street for a while, and after his emotions gradually calmed down, he found the car he was driving and drove home. Tang Cheng went out early in the morning, and when he came back, he looked a little depressed, Zhou Hongxiang and Zhang Jianghe, who were busy sorting out their belongings, didn't say much when they saw this, but just let Tang Cheng sit alone in the living room and look at the phone in a daze. Tang Cheng sat there until it was dark, and did not wait for Joseph's call, and after smelling the smell of the food, he finally gave up this meaningless wait.

The path under everyone's feet was chosen by themselves, and Tang Cheng had tried his best to persuade Joseph and Xu to return to the mountain, but the two of them did not choose the path and direction that Tang Cheng suggested for them. Tang Cheng, who suddenly had an epiphany, suddenly found that his persuasion of Joseph and Xu Huanshan seemed ridiculous, everyone in the world is an independent individual, and he should not impose his consciousness on them. Tang Cheng had just picked up the rice bowl when he heard the phone ringing in the living room, Tang Cheng threw down the bowl to answer the phone, but it was Secretary Yao who called.

Secretary Yao called to send medicine to Tang Cheng, which was a condition that Tang Cheng had agreed with them before, and Tang Cheng did not refuse Secretary Yao, because he really needed these medicines. Secretary Yao sent the medicine that Tang Cheng needed, as well as the director's parting words, and Zhang Jianghe, who understood the other party's intentions, also said that he would leave Nanjing in the next few days. In the next two days, Tang Cheng never left the Zhang family's old mansion, and spent the whole day packing his bags and belongings to prepare for his trip south to Chongqing.

In the early morning of another day, a truck that was almost fully loaded followed by a black sedan sped all the way to the Xiaguan Pier. Cao Wanchun was driving in the black car, Zhou Hongxiang and Zhang Jianghe were sitting in the back seat, and Tang Cheng was sitting in the back of the truck. The moment the truck drove out of Rujiangmen, Tang Cheng, who had been holding back, finally cried, farewell, Nanjing!
